Wants and Needs

<FROM THE AUTHOR OF
A novel about coming of age when you thought you already had: a story about commitment and independence, about starting all over again, and finding different ways to love along the way

Independence seems to be drifting away from Misty. Just months ago, she was living with her fiance and planning their life together. Now she''s single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isn''t how thirty-two was meant to look.

When Misty turns to dating apps, she''s immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher - so intrigued that she doesn''t even notice the acronym ''ENM'' on his profile. By the time she discovers that it stands for ''Ethical Non-Monogamy'' - and that the man with whom she feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry, is in a long-term open relationship - she decides to give things a go.

And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away. It''s all part of her plan: she wants to learn to become less attached, and to prepare herself for her next ''real'' relationship. But is what she wants really what she needs?

''So enjoyable ... The writing is just so good and moreish. I loved it'' Catherine Airey, author of< Confessions<
